    This provider always makes sure to remember facts about my son even though it's been months seeing him. He gifts him books and toys based on his developmental stage. He really listens and lets me know I'm doing a good job raising him and it shows on the data with his weight and overall general health. Makes me feel seen and heard as a parent, really wish there was more doctors that cared about the family as a whole this way!
